Girls LEAP (LEAP Self-Defense)

Girls' LEAP is the premier girls' empowerment and violence prevention organization in Greater Boston. We partner with community organizations and schools to deliver programs and workshops that couple self-defense and empowerment to girls aged 8-18 in Greater Boston. Girls' LEAP programs give girls the tools and assessment skills to keep themselves safe and free from violence. Our curriculum teaches physical safety skills and uses socio-emotional, reflective activities to develop boundary setting skills, violence de-escalation, self-esteem, courage, and explores healthy and unhealthy relationships. We empower girls to use their voices, and together learn life-long strategies to stay safe, both emotionally and physically.
